This will be the first time this workshop takes place in the United States outside of Silicon Valley with the aim of boosting the growth of startups in emerging tech hubs. TheVentureCity's Miami campus will host 12 startups during 5 days in an intense acceleration program with Google

MIAMI - March 14, 2019 - Californer -- Starting in March, from Monday 18th until Friday 22nd, 14 startups will enter the launch platform prepared by TheVentureCity and Google. What's the mission? Generating hypergrowth for these companies. To achieve it, the companies will address challenges related to product, engineering, growth, and the use of data in decision-making and culture.

The intensive program follows the method created by Google for Developers, with the support of TheVentureCity, and further entrenches Miami as an international startup launcher. From its start, TheVentureCity has invested in 18 companies and accelerated the growth of 14 businesses that gather talent from 17 different nationalities.

For Rosa Jiménez-Cano, Chief Ecosystem Relations at TheVentureCity, this is a great opportunity to "emphasize what's happening in Miami, a point of convergence for the United States, Europe and Latin America. A city created by immigrants that looks towards the future with excitement and where women lead the tech industry."

Miami is the first city to host Google Launchpad Start in the United States outside of Silicon Valley. The program takes place in San Francisco, Israel, South East Asia, Latin America and Africa. The partnership with TheVentureCity has drawn attention to Miami as an emerging global tech hub.

Francisco Solsona, Regional Lead SP LATAM at Google and one of the mentors of the event, states that "we still don't know the ecosystem in Miami, but we're aware that something is happening that we must focus on and maximize. For this reason, the Launchpad Start event will generate value for entrepreneurs and mentors that participate in this event, this is the perfect vehicle to consolidate collaboration that positively impacts the growing number of companies with high growth in the area. This is only the first step."

Startups will work with a group of industry leaders who have agreed to mentor the event, including Michael Dorka, UX at OLX and Juan Lombana, Google Developer Expert Marketing. TheVentureCity's leadership team, including Monica Simo Black, Patricia de Loro, Víctor Servín, Ekaterina Skorobogatova, Ricardo Sangion, Santiago Canalejo, David Smith, Clara Bullrich and the CEO and founder Laura González-Estéfani, will also be leading workshops and mentoring startups.
